Disconnect the Gas Spring
WARNING
Moving parts can cut or crush. The gas assist lift
mechanism is under pressure. Disconnect gas spring
before removing motor from mount. Do not engage the
pull grip and rope until gas spring is disconnected.
WARNING
The gas assist lift mechanism in this unit is under high
spring pressure when the motor is in the deployed position.
Do not remove the Steering Module assembly from the
mount without disconnecting one end of the gas spring.
Failure to do this can create a condition where accidental
pulling of the pull grip and rope may cause the mount to
spring open rapidly, striking anyone or anything in the direct
path.
NOTICE: Use a #3 Philips screwdriver to remove the
screws. They have a pre-applied thread locker. Not using
the recommended tool can cause damage and prevent
them from being removed.
